Connect Shopify inventory to your systems (ERP, WMS, 3PL, BI, marketplaces)

Enable this ShopifyConnector Extension to make inventory event-driven: inventory master data, stock per location, internal transfers, and inbound shipments—so operations stay aligned and stockouts drop.

Why enable this extension?

Because inventory isn’t just a number—it’s a chain of decisions (where stock is, what moves, what’s in transit, what’s received). Without real-time events, you typically face:

Overselling due to location-level stock drift.
Broken routing and warehouse assignment.
Slow replenishment and recurring stockouts.
ERP/WMS/3PL misalignment.
Incomplete reporting on turns, lead times, and preventable stock breaks.

Shopify provides dedicated webhook topics for inventory_items/, inventory_levels/, inventory_shipments/, and inventory_transfers/

Keep your CRM/ERP aligned

With account lifecycle changes.

Enforce B2B governance

Locations, billing, tax registration, exemptions, and access roles.

Automate B2B onboarding

With fewer manual steps.

Improve reporting

By company / location / contact, not only by individual customers.

Real-world business use cases

ERP as inventory source of truth (multi-channel)

Systems: ERP (Business Central, SAP, etc.), marketplace connectors, PIM. Example: sc.inventory_levels/connect and sc.inventory_levels/update keep Shopify availability aligned with back-office reality.

Multi-warehouse routing for lower cost and faster delivery

Systems: OMS, WMS, 3PL routing engines. Example: sc.inventory_levels/update triggers re-routing rules (closest warehouse, highest stock, lowest cost).

Replenishment automation (procurement on events)

Systems: purchasing/ERP, forecasting, BI. Example: low-stock thresholds driven by sc.inventory_levels/update create purchase or transfer proposals.

Internal transfers (inventory movement control)

Systems: WMS, ERP, ops, internal transport. Example: sc.inventory_transfers/add_items → ready_to_ship → complete keeps “in transit” inventory visible and prevents accidental selling.

Inbound receiving with shipment traceability

Systems: WMS, receiving, QA, BI. Example: sc.inventory_shipments/create / mark_in_transit / receive_items enables lead-time measurement and operational alerts.

Inbound exceptions (quantity changes, tracking changes)

Systems: ops support, BI, supplier/logistics coordination. Example: sc.inventory_shipments/update_item_quantities and sc.inventory_shipments/update_tracking keep ETAs and discrepancies visible.

3PL & dropship visibility (reduce the “black box”)

Systems: 3PL, external WMS, alerting, BI. Example: sc.inventory_levels/update triggers discrepancy checks vs ERP and anomaly alerts.

Marketplaces & feed accuracy (avoid penalties)

Systems: Amazon/eBay tools, Mirakl, feed managers. Example: every sc.inventory_levels/update refreshes channel availability quickly.

Merchandising & planning analytics (turns, slow movers, stockouts)

Systems: BI, planning, category management. Example: combine levels + transfers + shipments to model coverage days and in-transit lead times.

Inventory master-data changes (ops + compliance)

Systems: ERP, compliance reporting, PIM/BI. Example: sc.inventory_items/update propagates inventory-item changes to back-office systems.
